Hi there, I am a leaseholder in a 2nd floor flat in victorian terrace.
I plan on changing the internal layout which involves moving boiler flue and connecting a new bathroom soil pipe to the existing soil pipe outside. I am allowed to make internal alterations , however I would be most grateful if I could get some guidance on whether making a hole in the outer half of the external wall is covered by the usual 'consent not to be unreasonably held' scenario.
The alterations will involve making new holes in external wall and making good the old holes.
Can the freeholder withhold permission, or, if granting permission , can charge he me a premium to do so or just reasonable admin costs?
The lease says :
Not to make any structural or external alterations or any additions to the Premises without the prior written consent of the Landlord.
Also says - (in rights granted) The right to free and uninterrupted passage and running of water sewage gas electricity telephone and other services or supplies to and from the Premises through the Pipes to and from other parts of the Building that are now or may during the term be in under or over the building
The right at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to enter the other parts of the Building for the purpose of executing repairs alterations and renewals to the Pipes serving the Premises the Tenant immediately making good all damage caused by exercise of this right
FYI 'Pipes' definition includes flues
Thanks in advance
